To save $5? Really?

Right now, I'd pay $25/order to actually get a delivery window.

Delivery is already quite expensive for me to rely on for regular usage. To conserve resources, my strategy has been to buy a bunch not very frequently, which minimizes my trips to stores and doesn't incur the surcharges. $5 can feed me for a meal, so that money does make a difference to me, at least over time.

I agree with you. I live with a women who is 70 years old and a women who is 65 on chemotherapy and only has 1.5 lungs. I tipped my Costco delivery person $50 yesterday for the luxury of me not having to go out and potentially expose those women to more danger in my household. In normal circumstances, I would say its too expensive, but I am more then willing to pay someone else extra for incurring those health risks. Frankly they deserve it during these times.

Yes... Really. Not everyone is wealthy.

It's tricky to discuss whether the price is worth the service. Because it depends on many factors (e.g. how much you make)

We'll just vote with our wallets.

Does your grocery offer pickup? Normally it's $5 at mine, but free for now, and you don't have to get out of your car or interact with anyone, just pop the trunk.

You’re going to spend about 200 dollars on groceries and complain about an extra 5?

Come on now.

Ok so what? You’re not the target customer. If you’re sweating five bucks don’t use Instacart.
